Quiet Day - March 13, 2023 @goldenoakfarm

They’ve been threatening a nor’easter for days now so I thought I’d get some before photos around the farm on Monday.

There are still some substantial snowbanks from plowing but much had melted.

Tom was quite taken with how straight the melt line was, down the center of the field.

And in the South garden up next to the house, there were 6 buds on the daffodils.

I got the kitchen cleaned up and the laundry started, then started checking plant notes against photos. I soon found a discrepancy between where I had planted bulbs last spring, and what garden they were attributed to.

The old maps were at least 6 years old, drawn long before the construction. So I went out and measured and listed what had survived and drew new maps for the South Herb garden and the West Herb garden.

I quit there, as I have extensive measuring, etc to do for the West garden. It will have to wait til after the snow melts.

The Lyme disease has given me sound sensitivity and I’m seldom able to listen to music. But the last 2 days I’ve been able to, so it’s been playing all over the house all day.

I’m pretty firmly stuck in the 60’s and 70’s rock for preferences. My husband had all kinds and decades he liked.

I’m slowly filling out my collection of Miss Read books. This is the latest one and I spent the afternoon reading and listening to music.

It had spit rain a bit by the time I went to bed. I’ll have to wait to see if we get the storm or not on Tuesday.
